1373 The Last Choice
Buzz!
A muffled sound sounded from below, and even the ground shook extremely lightly.
Although it was slight, Angie Prairie and the other two, who were sitting on the ground with their entire butts pressed tightly against the ground, still clearly sensed it.
Apart from Angie Prairie, who was concentrating on treating Carola, Princess Romanti and Carola looked surprised. Princess Romanti thought for a moment and suddenly fell. She pressed her head on the ground with her ears close. She pressed her hands on it and focused on sensing.
After a while, she stood up in surprise.
“It’s very strange. It seems that… someone is fighting below.”
“Someone is fighting?” The vibration just now did not divert Angie Prairie’s attention, but Princess Romanti’s words immediately diverted a portion of her attention. She frowned and instantly guessed, “Chu Nan should have gone down. He must be fighting now. As for the person fighting him… could it be that Dr. Querzaros?”
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
There was too little information, so they naturally could not come to any conclusions.
Princess Romanti thought for a moment and asked Angie Prairie, “Hey, Angie Prairie, how long will it take for Carola to recover?”
“I’m fine. We…”
“Shut up. I have the final say in this.” Angie Prairie interrupted Carola and closed her eyes to sense it. She replied, “I still need about five minutes to completely recover.”
“Alright, continue to treat her first. I’ll go see the situation.”
Princess Romanti lowered her head and listened to the voice on the ground again. Then, she stood up and carefully hid in the direction of the underground voice.
The low-altitude floating shuttle that Carola had done something abnormal when she saw it was still in front and was surrounded by small groups of mutated beasts. She had to be careful to slowly approach.
…
Underground.
Boom!
Another loud bang sounded throughout the passageway, causing Chu Nan’s ears to buzz.
Compared to his ears, his back was the most shaken.
Earlier, he had received Dr. Querzaros’ punch head-on, causing his entire body to collide with the closed door above. His back was completely flat, and the huge force made his entire body seem to have been flattened against the door. Apart from letting him experience extremely intense pain, it also confirmed again that the texture of this door was extraordinary. It was enough to endure such a high-intensity impact without any signs of damage.
This also forced the thought of breaking through this door and escaping to the back of his mind. This was because, with the texture of this door, he probably had to study it carefully before he had hope of completely breaking it.
However, it was obvious that he did not have the time now.
Below the passageway, the huge body of Dr. Querzaros, who had completely lost his human form and returned to his third form, almost filled the originally wide passageway, squeezing Director Romon beside him to the side, causing him to be extremely small.
“Ha!” Dr. Querzaros sneered, “Kid, you told me just now that the third form has strength but has lost flexibility. It’s a very stupid choice, but what do you have to say now?”
Chu Nan smiled bitterly.
This passageway was extremely narrow and was enveloped by that extremely special metal wall in all directions. There was no room to move at all, so he could not use his flexibility to deal with Dr. Querzaros’s attacks at all. He could only choose to receive it head-on every time.
In terms of strength, after Dr. Querzaros transformed into the third form, he had an absolute advantage. No matter how strong Chu Nan’s body was, he could not resist.
Most importantly, the surrounding metal passageway seemed to have an even more special characteristic, as if it could even isolate the spatial energy of the outside world, causing him to only be able to affect and control a small portion of the spatial energy in the passageway, preventing him from forcefully condensing sufficiently powerful spatial energy to defeat Dr. Querzaros.
It could be said that this environment was simply the greatest increase to Dr. Querzaros and the greatest weakness to Chu Nan.
Here, his powerful A.I.-like brain was not very useful.
Looking at the ferocious Dr. Querzaros who was laughing wildly, Chu Nan gently took a deep breath and used the Flame of Life cultivation method to recover from the injuries caused by the intense impact.
The only thing he could rely on now was his powerful recovery ability.
This Dr. Querzaros’ transformation state was clearly limited and could not last long. If he could last until his transformation was removed, there was still hope of winning.
Unfortunately, there was another person beside Dr. Querzaros.
“Alright, Doctor, don’t waste too much time on this kid. Hurry up and kill him. We have to continue arranging a retreat,” Director Romon said. His aura suddenly arose, but he planned to attack with Dr. Querzaros and quickly deal with Chu Nan.
“No, it’s not easy to have such a good opportunity. I want to capture this kid alive and experiment with him.” A thick arm in the depths of Dr. Querzaros stopped Director Romon.
Director Romon was slightly angry and could not help but raise his voice, “Doctor! Now is not the time to waste on this kid! We have more important things to do.”
“But he’s a very perfect experiment subject. Didn’t you discover that?” Dr. Querzaros still insisted, “If we can capture him alive, it will definitely be very helpful to our research!”
Director Romon frowned and glanced at Chu Nan before nodding.
Although he had not been tested with equipment, it could be seen with the naked eye that this kid’s body was simply perfect. The various genetic characteristics were extremely clear. He was indeed a very outstanding experiment subject.
However…
“No!” Director Romon shook his head in a low voice, “We don’t have that much time. I promise you, save a complete corpse for him. After killing him, I’ll completely hand him to you to deal with.”
This condition clearly moved Dr. Querzaros. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, he could only nod after thinking for a moment.
“Alright, let’s do that.”
Hearing their conversation, Chu Nan could not help but laugh.
Had these two fellows already sentenced him to death while laughing?
Although the current situation was indeed extremely disadvantageous to him, this was only because he was unwilling to take the risk.
In fact, even at the most dangerous moment, he still had a way to survive.
For example, ever since he participated in the Garden Hunting Assembly, he had deliberately not used space travel.
Although the spatial energy environment here was only slightly better than in the Endless Abyss and was still a little inferior to ordinary positive universe space, Chu Nan was confident that he could complete spatial travel here and escape into an alternate space.
Although the strength of these two fellows in front of him was not bad, it was impossible for them to have this ability like him.
What worried Chu Nan was that this place was located in a special spatial energy environment area like the Endless Abyss. Then, the corresponding alternate space would probably be relatively special. If he rashly entered the alternate space, it was hard to say what danger he would encounter.
Another example was the physical rebirth that he had just learned from Angie Prairie for less than two months.
If there was really no other way, he could only activate his physical rebirth and completely decompose his body into the tiniest cell tissue before reorganizing it to be reborn.
However, he also had concerns about doing this.
Firstly, Dr. Querzaros was a human genetic expert. It was very difficult to be sure that he could be deceived by using physical rebirth in front of him. Moreover, this should be a base to study genetic engineering. If they used any special method to test it, physical rebirth might not succeed.
Secondly, even if he succeeded here and dodged the detection of Dr. Querzaros and the test here, it was unknown what would happen to this base after his rebirth.
If this place was completely destroyed, it was very likely that his reborn body would be mixed with various impurities and it would definitely greatly affect Chu Nan’s ability.
Therefore, this method was only considered at the end. It was not that there was no other way, but Chu Nan would definitely not do it.
Most importantly, although he was completely at a disadvantage and was completely suppressed by the super strength after Dr. Querzaros transformed into the third form, Chu Nan still did not think he would lose.
On the other hand, Dr. Querzaros and Director Romon had finally finished discussing and were already prepared to attack together.
Chu Nan was completely focused and was prepared to deal with the ferocious attacks of the two of them at any time.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a few soft sounds behind the special metal door behind him.
